Lot No: 6 in our September 2021 auction is an antique 9” x 1 ³⁄₁₆” skew ironed gunmetal and rosewood rabbet plane in good used condition. The Gunmetal body has some staining from what looks to be French polish, but it’s a well-made plane that cuts close to the front of the throat so was made with some knowledge of how they work.
No makers mark present but never the less, it’s a sweet plane with bags of character and is quite unique in its construction which would have required skilled hands to create it.
Estimate:
Difficult to assess really, but got to be worth at least £80-120 purely for its individuality, usability and its appearance with high quality materials.
